Rannerz presents: The G-Zelly

[RannerZ]

I am now on brand new shiney SA Plates!
ha

I also noticed that SA mainly has hatches.

As Nick said lastnight.
I painted my new front bar. 210 Silver (except Sprints mixed a little too much black tinter in, so now its slightly darker)
Matt Black on the bumper part.
Nick installed the foglights and helped me install the front bar which took a while.



Looks so good from a distance and in the rear view mirror!

[RannerZ]

The bar didnt turn out 100% as I wanted it too.
I could have fixed it up so much better but there are a fair few scratches and paint chips from before hand which I didnt repair.
I ran out of time.
I did 4 coats of 210 silver and 6 coats of clear. I wanted to do more but it started to get too dark.
One thing I hate is the Sprints used too much black tinter in the paint so its slightly darker.
If the entire car was this dark I would be loving it!

And James with the foglights, They were tested out many times driving through the hills.
They give a little bit of a yellow glow, and they are wider than the standard headlights.
Im very happy with the way it turned out.

James. Where can I get a pair of these clear indicators?

[james]

You know fluro ceiling lights like you'd see in a classroom or office?
They have a clear plastic cover.

Get some of that, trace around your indicators to make a stencil. Cut it out of the clear plastic. Drill a couple holes. Get some orange bulbs. Done.
I'm gonna be doin' it to mine once I have time.

A few other members have done the same thing I believe.

If you can find 'em, they're the same as R31 indicators apparently and some guys can sometimes get clear r31 items, but not often that I have found. Plus, costs more.

Nick hooked up the Sleepy Eyes on the Gaz.

+1 spec.

Now I should paint my car black with an orange bonnet! NOT

[RannerZ]

I have many ideas on what to paint the Gazelle.
-Phantom Purple (Metallic standard BA Falcon) and powder coat the mesh to a dull gold.
-Jet Black with Fluro Green 16x8 Rays Volk. But that means not running my SSR's
-The whole car in the standard 210 Silver and make it look cleaner (except all gazelle's nowdays are silver and I hate the norm)
-Darker silver

Those are my ideas. In six months time the car will get a full respray at Trade School.

Heres one sick update for you all.

Went driving up to Lobethal with some of the guys, on the way up the music was cutting out and the headlights was getting slowly dimmer.
So sure enough, turn onto Lobethal Main Street and the car shuts down. I park the car, call my mates on the drive with us.
Battery is dead flat, in the car I had a Jump starter pack, hooked that up and the car died again.
Called the RAA, and there was nothing they could do considering I didn't have $145 for a battery.

So we drove back to Adelaide, went round to a mates house and stole his battery from his Sil80 (he has no license, so it doesn't move).
Drove back to the car, hooked it up, and the battery was flat too.
Mack 10 has a crazy rally spec idea of hooking up the Jump Starter pack to the prongs as a replacement battery, temporarily of course.
It actually worked, the bonnet was taped down and the headlight fuse was removed.

Jeff's Mazda 2 infront, Myself behind with no headlights, fog lights on, and mack 10 holding a maglight out the window, And Mitch was behind me in the rice burner.
Took a while to get home, took the backstreets when we got to Adelaide.

Was sketchy as!

and now for some pictures haha
